Welcome to Death Café——Learn to make "commands" for yourself, and face life and death gracefully   A few days ago, I was happy to share my life, clearly made an appointment for the next party, and clearly just agreed... A few days later, the news of the death of those protagonists suddenly came. An epidemic has caused similar news to spread frequently, thinking that the distant death is so close to us. Even if you are on the "middle" of your life, there is no better experience of the impermanence of life than this moment. How to deal with life and death? Instead of fear, worry, and remorse, the new generation of mature generations decided to face it head-on, and "make good orders" for themselves in advance, and also make decisions."   Come to Death Cafe  Academy "Death Education Class" Guo Huijuan introduced the "Death Cafe" initiated in the UK 6 years ago. Through workshop discussions, she guided everyone to practice the life discussion of facing death from the perspective of concepts, attitudes, skills and psychology. In the "Life Time Machine" course, Guo Huijuan encourages students to look back on life through writing without leaving regrets; there are also "Farewell Art" that starts with an elegant farewell mentality, and "Pre-Medical Will" that focuses on medical aspects. "Modern Views on Life and Death". The person who wants to teach everyone this "death education lesson" is middle-aged Guo Huijuan, who also bid farewell to her father and relatives. She knows very well that at this point in life, she has to face the loss of relatives and friends. "Grief" has become a new topic, but few people understand it. "What should I do after being sad for so long?" "Is it abnormal to refuse to pack up the relics?" The doubts in my heart have never been answered correctly. Therefore, unlike the model in the UK where it was founded, members only express their feelings and seek emotional support in the workshop. The Taiwanese version of Death Cafe wants to teach everyone to practice this life-and-death lesson. "The need for death education is obvious," Guo Huijuan said. Among the students, 80% are over 50 years old. Some come purely for the theme, while others want to find a partner to spend the time together.   Talking about death is not taboo, the end of life is my decision Talking about death is no longer a taboo for the newly matured people, and they don't have to wait until the day they lie on the sick bed before waiting for someone to make a decision. Since there will be such a day, it is up to you to decide. "I will be the master (instruction) of what happens after the death." Guo Huijuan said. From fear to calmness, why did you start "daring to talk about death"? Guo Huijuan observes that there are parents at the top and children at the bottom, and the sandwich generation sandwiched between the two generations. With the change of traditional concepts, knowing that getting along with the two generations between the next generation is not necessarily like the generation of oneself and the elders; If you let go suddenly, the children of the next generation may not be able to deal with it. Maybe in the end it is only you. "Don't bother others, and prepare for yourself, which becomes the basic mentality." She said. From rational steps, emotional education, and adjustment of mentality, the "practical life and death science" that must be learned has also become a hot topic under the sudden epidemic situation. The basic course topics of "dying", "doctor's order, testament" and "funeral affairs" have become the students' favorite options. Not only did she invest in advocating to change public opinion, Guo Huijuan also personally practiced her own death preparations and drafted a "good death memorandum". In addition to the five major situations of making a will in advance, she has further prepared corresponding policies for various situations that may occur, such as sudden fainting, aging, etc., so that family members can cope with it without panic. "Writing a good script for the end of life is a way of respecting oneself and leaving no regrets for the living," Guo Huijuan said.
